abapAddonAssemblyKitCreateTargetVector¶

This step creates a Target Vector for software lifecycle operations

Description¶

This step takes the Product Version and the corresponding list of Software Component Versions from the addonDescriptor in the commonPipelineEnvironment. With these it creates a Target Vector, which is necessary for executing software lifecylce operations in ABAP Cloud Platform systems. The Target Vector describes the software state, which shall be reached in the managed ABAP Cloud Platform system.
For Terminology refer to the Scenario Description.

Usage¶

We recommend to define values of step parameters via .pipeline/config.yml file.
In this case, calling the step is essentially reduced to defining the step name.
Calling the step can be done either in an orchestrator specific way (e.g. via a Jenkins library step) or on the command line.

Jenkins

library('piper-lib-os')

abapAddonAssemblyKitCreateTargetVector script: this

Command Line

piper abapAddonAssemblyKitCreateTargetVector

Outputs¶

Output type	Details
commonPipelineEnvironment	abap/addonDescriptor

Prerequisites¶

The credentials to access the AAKaaS (Technical Communication User) must be stored in the Jenkins Credential Store
Product Version name and the resolved version(version, spslevel and patchlevel) must be part of the addonDescriptor structure in Piper commonPipelineEnvironment. This is the case if the step abapAddonAssemblyKitCheckPV has been executed before.
For each Software Component Version which should be part of the Target Vector, the name and the resolved version(version, splevel and patchlevel) as well as the Delivery Package must be part of the addonDescriptor structure in Piper commonPipelineEnvironment. This is the case if the step abapAddonAssemblyKitCheckCVs has been executed before.
The Delivery Packages must exist in the package registry (status "P" = planned) which is the case if step abapAddonAssemblyKitReserveNextPackages has been executed before. Alternatively the package can already exist as physical packages (status "L" = locked or "R" = released).

A detailed description of all prerequisites of the scenario and how to configure them can be found in the Scenario Description.

script¶

Jenkins-specific: Used for proper environment setup.

The common script environment of the Jenkinsfile running. Typically the reference to the script calling the pipeline step is provided with the this parameter, as in script: this. This allows the function to access the commonPipelineEnvironment for retrieving, e.g. configuration parameters.

Examples¶

Configuration in the config.yml¶

The recommended way to configure your pipeline is via the config.yml file. In this case, calling the step in the Jenkinsfile is reduced to one line:

abapAddonAssemblyKitCreateTargetVector script: this

If the step is to be configured individually the config.yml should look like this:

steps:
  abapAddonAssemblyKitCreateTargetVector:
    abapAddonAssemblyKitCredentialsId: 'abapAddonAssemblyKitCredentialsId'

More convenient ways of configuration (e.g. on stage level) are described in the respective scenario/pipeline documentation.
